MODERATORS
This thread is kind of wild. Do all of y'all understand that it's more the blatant endorsement and promotion of literal Nazis that is driving people off Twitter? It ain't the corporatization. We might not like that but to pretend like it's the same thing is fucking insane.
We must have different experiences with facebook, because I see nazi rhetoric just as often there. It may not be as blatantly supported, but they certainly do nothing to keep it off of the platform.
But is the nazi rhetoric on facebook coming from the owners?
They aren't saying with their mouths, but they seem to be fine with it padding their wallets.
Facebook spread disinformation from a junta that caused a genocide and the Zuck did nothing to stop that disinformation stream. He’s almost as bad as a Nazi.
It is intentionally amplified by the owners because that makes them money. We have more than enough knowledge to say that with confidence thanks to the empirical data and ex-employees.
Right? People seems to forgot there's mass exodus off facebook due to this exact issue and they still have this issue as of now, and also the protest against federating with Thread not too long ago.

Facebook and its sister sites have been a hotbed of unmoderated nazi content for longer than some of the people in this thread have been alive.
I feel like with Facebook it's more of a YouTube situation where they don't care as long as it makes them money and no major regulator raises their eyebrows. Which is despicable, don't get me wrong, but Twitter is not just doing that, it is actively endorsing these mfs

Meta admitted to tolerating election influencing, it doesnt matter in which direction, because it means they can be bought.

I'm leaving Reddit. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Sh.itjust.works, if you like.

Yeah I do this frequently. Then I randomly go back to people's profiles and often find interesting communities and threads that way.
It clearly following, I don’t know what you’re talking about

yawn. wake me up when he joins a social media site not owned by a corp.
Leaving a corpo-propaganda place, join another corpo-propaganda place. So close, King, so close.
Just like the chest piece, King just moved one square.
I thought he was into horror?
Have you visited Threads? It’s pretty horrific.
I like King, but like everyone leaving the boat since a couple of days, it's too little too late. Plus, leaving a babyllionaire's toy for another babyllionaire's toy is probably not the brightest idea.
He's a multimillionaire who spent an entire decade or more so coked out and drunk that he doesn't even remember writing Cujo. Don't set your expectations so high.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Idk, Zuck doesn't seem to suck up to Trump quite as much, so there's that. He still does, but he's just a bit more of a "behind closed doors" kind of person.
So, he took his sweet time to leave the nazi bar and, of all places, he moves to the bar already on its way of becoming another nazi bar.
Ok
Not to say people shouldn't leave Twitter, but like...this isn't going to devastate him. He's in the inner circle. Twitter could burn down and I doubt he would even notice.
Now it's too toxic? I love SK but come on. Supported that site for too long.
Boom! Mic drop! Stephen King EVISCERATES loser Elon in this EPIC post on X Formerly Known As Twitter!
[gif of that person clapping, you should know which one, everyone posted it endlessly every time Chrissy Teigen or those Krassenstein fucks threw some meaningless shade] hats off to this brave hashtag Resister for doing something that everyone should have fucking done three years ago at the very latest
I’m done, fuck everything, fuck everyone
He's going to Threads??? They have finally launched the metaverse and no one has told me anything??? I don't see any other rational reason to do something like that.
TECTONIC SHIFT
At this rate, Twitter worth will be in minus soon.
Doesn't matter, he got what he paid for on November 5th
while he's well and truly in the black, what he paid for was banning the Elonjet account. Everything else was an after thought.
Pretty sure he paid to dismantle the public square, an organizing space for the left, a voice for millions, and all that sweet sweet information that will soon be used to hunt the enemy within.
Ding Ding Ding.
I lost count of the amount of times I got downvoted to oblivion for saying "He isnt an idiot manchild, he is up to something. Yall are assuming he is playing checkers badly, he is playing chess and whupping your ass"
You dont get to be the richest man in the world by being an absolute fucking idiot.

at least there is competition these days, unlike during twitters rise
We have the Nazi bar owned by the Nazi who proudly put the Nazi flag outside and kicks anybody out who insults Nazis, but where a lot of non-Nazis still hang out because it was the busiest, best place before the Nazis took over: Twitter.
We have the soulless corporate bar run by a guy who installed cameras everywhere in the bar, in every booth, every bathroom stall, where every 5 minutes the music is interrupted by an ad, and where the exit door shut has been welded shut: Threads.
We have bar started by the guy who initially owned the Nazi bar, but who has since been kicked out, that has recently accepted a major funding round from TESCREAL fascists, but where the vibe, so far, is pretty chill, where they promise that eventually you'll be able to wander to nearby bars that all share the same menu, but where that promise is always some vague time in the future: Bluesky.
We have the series of no-name pubs that don't show up on any maps, some run out of people's houses, some even run from studio apartments, some run out of mental institutions, where you can leave any time you want and take your friends with you, where it's a bit of a free-for-all, and if you want a round of drinks you have to chase down the busy publican and ask what's available, and where you might be asked for help pouring drinks: Mastodon.
It's great to see that years after the Nazis took over, some people are finally choosing to stop going to the Nazi bar. It makes you wonder why they stayed so long though. But, I'm not as impressed with where they're choosing to go instead.
He's going over to Threads, which is only a slight improvement.
The "sudden" realisation of corporations and publications and celebrities that now xitter is bad, but a month ago it was fine, is one of the thinner veils I've seen for a while, and there are a lot of thin veils going around.
The truth is, they only care once their income (or other personal interest) is potentially threatened, not a millisecond sooner, and definitely not about the bigotry that's always been on there, but which has been completely undeniable for a good couple of years now, and which they were happy to turn a blind eye to this long.
If you think these people are allies, you're giving them waaaaaaay too much credit.
"I tried hanging out with the Nazis, but they're just too toxic"
Honestly.. 🙄🙄🙄
It’s remarkable that Musk is so horrible that he managed to make Zuckerberg look good by comparison.
